Generally, it takes several months to fully recover from ankle replacement surgery. The initial weeks and months after surgery are crucial for healing and rehabilitation. You will likely be required to wear a cast or brace for a period of time, and you will need to follow a physical therapy program to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your ankle.
Recovery will be determined by what procedure(s) are being performed. I recommend you discuss details with your surgeon.
Depends on what type of surgery you are to have. An ankle fracture takes a different amount of time from a total ankle implant, etc.
